prise us, these things should never lead us
astray in our estimate of this exalted posi-
ton, and its value and dignity, and though
your fellow citizens who may be chosen 10
perform for time the duties ofthis highest
place should be badly selected, and though
the best attainable results may not be
reached by his administration, yet the ex-
acting watchfulness of the people freed
from the disturbing turmoil of POLITICAL eH-
citement, ought to prevent misciiance 10
the office which represents their sovereign
ity, and should reduce to minimum the
danger of harm to the State. e.
/ by no means underestimate the I'M
portance of the utmost care and clrcnm-
spection in the selection Of the incumbent.
ON the contrary, l believe there Is no obll-
CATION of citizenship that demands more
thought and conscientious dellDeratioh
than this, but am speaking OF the Gnu
zens duty to the office, and its selected IN
cumbent. This duty is only performed
when in the interest of the entire people,
the full exercise of the powers OF chiei
maSistracy is insisted on, and when iOr the
peoples safety due regard for the lml-
tations placed upon the office Is exacted'
These things should be enforced by the
manifestation OF a calm and enlightened
public opinion. But this should not be
stimulated by the mad clamor OF dlsap-
pointed interest which without regard for
the exercise of official judgments would
degrade the Office by forcing compliance
with selfish demands.
Ifyour President should not be ot the
people, and one of your fellow citizens, he
would be utterly unfit for the position, IN
capable of understanding the people wants
and caring for their desires. That he Is
one of the people implies that he Is sub
ject To
HUMAN FRAILTY AND ERROR,
but he should be permitted to claim but
little federation for his mistakes. The
generosity of his fellow citizens should
alone decree how far good Intentions
should excuse his shortcomings.
Watch well, then, this high office, the
most precious possession Of American clti-
zenship. Demand for it the most complete
devotion on the part OF him to whose Gus
tody it may be entrusted, aud protect 10 not
less violently from unworthy assaults from
without. Thus will you perform sacred
duty to yourselves and to those who may
follow you in the enjoyment OF the ireest
institutions which heaven has ever vouch-
safed to man.

FINNERTY'S FIZZLE.

The second game yesterday between the
Wheeling club and the Fiunertys was but
a shade better than the preceding one.
Bishops catcher again failed to show up,
and the Allegheny twirler went into the
box with Gisburt behind the bat Bishop,
as was expected, did fine work, and with
decent support the Maroons would have
had to hustle themselves to win.
For the first four innings he afforded the
home batters some little trouble. Gisburt
was seriously hurt in the fifth and new
battery came in, and the old, old tale OF
the Bells was repeated. The audience be-
came thoroughly tired Of the monotonous
work and were pleasantly relieved only by
the inimitable playing of the new first
baseman. Following is the score in full:

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.

The Departments Will he ePurged-Swindler
Harvey's AntecedeDts.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-The Post has
a column special from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
relating to the antecedents Of the horse
claims clerk Harvey. They are in accord
with the particulars hitherto sent by your
correspondent. Upon the death of his
father ne borrowed $780, 900 on the pros
poets of his inheritance. When the estate
was settled it was discovered that he had
spent his allowance, and there were no
assets that his creditors could seize upon.
He was evidently endeavoring to settle
some of the claims with Uncle Sans horse
money. In 1876 he went abroad in great
state and took with him q valet. During
his trip he made the most desirable social
alliances. When he married Miss Fannie
Holding he hired palace car and travelled
in the style of magnate, but failed to set
tie for the style he had at his wedding.
A prominent official of the Treasury De-
partment remarked yesterday that the dis
cOvery of Haryey's forgeries had seemed
to occasion quite stir among the claim
agents. Many Of them have shown their
anxiety by their frequent visits to the de-
partments and their feverish inquiries
as to whether there were any new devel-
opments. The official says a quiet inves-
tigatiou is now in progress, which he is Of
opinion will develop the fact that in years
past great numbers of fraudulent claims
have been piloted through department
channels. 1t is rumored that q chief of
division in the Patent Office has made q
practice OF systematically borrowing money
from the clerks Of the division and neglect
ing to return it, in this way fleeing them
out of large amount of money. Commis-
sioner Hall has determined to make thor
ough Investigation to-day.
The treasury officials report that there
Is mania among the clerks for resigning,
and they attribute il to the fact that the
civil service rules require higher stand
ard Of talent, and that there is q conse-
quent demand for their services in private
life. Ths boys in the trenches no doubt
think thai Republicans and Mugwumps
are better fitted for private life, and will
be glad to fill all the gaps that are made in
the departments in this way.
The polished and expert swindler Har-
vey has been considerate enough to make
an assignment, in which he has graciously
made the United States preferred creditor
to the amount of Sll, 100 Haryey's assets
consist OF his household furniture and 500
stock in the Wilkesbarre National Bank.
The stock is mortgaged for loan in that
bank. He owes outside of these amounts
81, 107.

authority that at the time of his appoint
ment strong protests were made against
the proposed action by prominent and in
fuential Democrats of Pennsylvania, whose
opinions and wishes were entitled to re-
spect by those in authority. Is this true?
and if 50, upon what grounds was the ap-
pointment opposed? There must have
been formal charges filed, or some reasons
assigned; and in view OF the active objee-

public interest to know why and under

no attempt to escape The knife droPped
out OF Kennedy's side as physician came
up. Henry Mason, q colored watchman,
seized Daily, who stood looking on ap-
paren'ly the most unconcerned and self
possessed man in the crowd.
Kennedy expired and five minutes after
wards the body was removed 10 the police
station. Excitement rose rapidly and the
crowd grew boisterous, threatening TO hang
the murderer. Daily paid little attention
and refused to say why be committed the
crime. Once when provoked by the crowd
he tnrned suddenly around and said, "Yes,
rkilled him, damn him" He is man
about 50 years Of age, apparently work
iDgman. The murdered man u about 10

Oliver Must Go.

WASHINGTON, July l3.-The Supreme
Conrt of the District of Columbia, sitting
in General Terms to-day, sustained the
demurrer of the Government and awarded
n judgment of custer in the case of the
United States against John n. Oliver, a
Justice of the Peace, who resisted the
right of the President to remove him, and
claimed that he could he displaced from
his office only by the District Supreme
Court The Court, in an opinion de-
livered by Chief Justice Bingham, holds
that the power to remove Justices of the
Peace resided in the President alone down
to the organic act of the court passed in
March, 1868, and that this act did not
take away the Presidents power OF re-
moval, hut merely conferred on the court
concurrent power of removal with the
President.

WEST vIR6INIA's SENATOR.
Mr.. Faulkner's views-A California Case
Cited as Precedent.

Mr.. Faulkner's Views-A California Case
Cited as Precedent.
LOUISVILLE, July ia special to the
Courier Journal from Washington, says
Hon. Charles r. Faulkner, of Martinsburg,
the new Senator-elect from West Virginia,
was in the city for few hours to-day, and
being asked by your correspondent if be
had any doubt that he would secure his
seat, said: my credentials are perfect.
The Governor does not state that the Legis-
lature was called together for the purpose
of electing a United States Senator, but
there is nothing in the laws or the Consti-
tuition Of West Virginia that makes any
limitation requiring notice to be given
that it will proceed to the election of
United States Senator. Nor is there any
thing in the Federal Constitution that
makes any limitation of that kind.
Furthermore, the Republicans have already
closed this question against themselves.
In the case of Senator Williams, of Califor-
MIA, it will be remembered that
Governor Stoneman had appointed
Senator Hearst to ill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Miller.
Subsequently it became necessary to call
the California Legislature together in ex-
ira session. Gov. StOneman hesitated to do
this, fearing that the Republicans would
take advantage of the opportunity to elect
a successor TO Hearst, although he did not
think they could legally do it. The Re-
publicans, in order to procure the extra
session, agreed not to attempt to elect
Senator. But the Legislature had no sooner
met than scheme was set on foot to vio-
late their word. The question was raised
as to the powers of the Legislature to elect
at a special session, where there had been
no call made for that purpose, that is, to
fill vacancy in the United States
Senate. Advice was taken from Washing
ton, and Senator Edmunds addressed an
argument to the Judiciary Committee of
the California Legislature to the effect that
there was no doubt OF the right OF the Leg
islature to elect They elected, and as is
ted"
This puts the Republicans in q hole as
far as the Senator from West Virginia is
concerned. But if the Republicans were
disposed to 90 back on their precedent, and
there is no doubt they would do it to con-
troll the Senate, the fact remains that there
are only fifty-One hold-Oyer Senators,
twenty-five Democrat and twenty-five Re-
publican, and Riddleberger, of Virginia.
lie will hold the balance of power, and his
vote must be secured before they can de-
feat the seating of Mr.. Faulkner.
